Popular job hunting website MojPosao.hr said their week-long fair for jobs in tourism attracted more than 9,000 job seekers, 250 new job postings and 48 businesses looking for employees, the site said on Thursday (March 1).

The fair was started last year as an initiative aimed at bringing together job seekers and businesses in the tourism industry. The website said online pages of the fair were visited by 155,000 job seekers during the period, with 300 of them ask to fill in polls to gain some insight into trends in the industry and the job market in general.

According to the poll, the most desirable work searched by jobseekers would be a full time position at a hotel in the Split-Dalmatia County, the coastal area around Croatia’s second largest city of Split. Around half of all those polled said they already had some experience working seasonal jobs in tourism, while 44 percent saying their main motive for going into the industry was better earnings compared to other sectors.
